Exploring the idea of "loving yourself"

[Ichthus77 (Ichthus77 (formerly She™))]

So… you want to maintain self-love despite cognitive discounting?

Am I hearing you correctly?

Loving yourself in this situation is blatantly obvious: kill the cognitive discounting.

You answered your own question in a very “I can’t bring myself to say this” way.

You can do this. Because all us f***ing a$$holes hate/love you too. Don’t forget that.

Extension of Carleas’ thread?

@Carleas

Start by loving yourself. Every part of finding love, and of being in love with someone else, is made easier by loving yourself. You need to believe that you’re worthy of love, and that you have something to offer someone else, that your love would benefit the person you love. You don’t need to be perfect, you can be deeply flawed, but you need to love yourself.
